This provides the reader with a unique insight into the psychology of human behaviour, and human caring, that student nurses, and those on post-qualifying courses, will find invaluable. There are examples and discussion points throughout to help strengthen the relevance to practice. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to nurses and students of other health disciplines, who will come away with new insights and a better understanding of human behaviour.’ Daniel Kelly, Cardiff University‘The authors show that, not only do nurses need to have knowledge about core aspects of the science of psychology, we need to become skilled at knowing how to competently apply that knowledge within a broader person-centred approach to care.’ Jan Dewing, Queen Margaret University, EdinburghTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsPreface Alison Torn and Pete GreasleyPART I: NURSING & THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HEALTH & HEALTH CAREChapter 1 What is Psychology and Why is it Relevant to Nursing?Pete GreasleyChapter 2 Psychology and Models of HealthSally SargeantPART II: BEING A PATIENTChapter 3 Nursing the Child and Young PersonPaul BuckleyChapter 4 Nursing the AdultAlison TornChapter 5 Nursing Those with Learning DisabilitiesRaghu RaghavanChapter 6 Nursing People with DementiaClaire SurrChapter 7 Nursing Those in PainJames JacksonChapter 8 Nursing Those at the End of LifeVanessa Taylor and Beverley NorrisPART III: MENTAL HEALTH IN THE NURSING ENVIRONMENTChapter 9 Stress and IllnessJames JacksonChapter 10 Anxiety and DepressionJoe MacDonaghChapter 11 Altered Mental StatesTracy McClelland and Stephen WilliamsPART IV: COMMUNICATION & THERAPEUTIC TALKChapter 12 Cognitive Behavioural TherapyJane TonerChapter 13 CounsellingPeter SpencerChapter 14 Motivational DialogueGillian ToberCONCLUSIONChapter 15 Psychology and Working as a NurseSally Sargeant, Patricia Johnson and Patricia Green
